Tips/ Tricks/ Edits for my 2 week Oahu/ Maui Itinerary please?

Arrive Saturday Drop off bags and grab some late night dinner or stroll beach Sura Korean bbq open until 1am –

Sunday – Breakfast: Koko Head Cafe/ Kaimuki/ Chef Lee Anne Wong opened Koko Cafe in 2013. Koko Moco( a lil twisting on the locals favorite, Loco Moco) and the Cornbread French Toast. Somewhat pricey, $10 -1 5 for a plate but its good. Best to run weekday, and an off period. If you have to go on a weekend, be prepared to wait.

Diamond Head – hike,# 3 thing to do in Honolulu( 45 minute walking) – 761 feet about sea level and is said to have been formed over 300,000 years ago. The traditional Hawaiin name is Le’ahi.

Okinawan Festival Sep 3, 2016 – Sep 4, 2016 The Okinawan Festival celebrates the history and culture of Japan’s southern islanders.

KahanamokuBeach beachside of the Hilton Hawaiian Village – surfing lesson? If available on beach – This is the section of Waikiki beach close to the Hilton Hawaiin Village Resort on the far west end.

Lunch – Helena` s/ Kalihi/ – In 1946, Helen Chock opened Helena’s Hawaiian Food and was awarded a James Beard award in 2000 for her outstanding cuisine. Parking plenty is ordinarily full but there are street parking across the street. Cash only! Closes at 6? A little pricey but worth it. You can get the combo meals or the ala carte route. It is mandatory to order their infamous “Pipikaula”. Dried beef shortribs, then fried to order. DIVINE.
